This is correct - about 115 VDC - It is best to switch with another relay 
like the KD9SV front end saver or a transistor switch keyed from the 
FT1000MP.  The product can be found by going to the SB-220/HL-2200 icon at 
Harbach Electronics website:
http://www.harbachelectronics.com/ and scrolling down to the SK-220 soft 
keying module.  I used one successfully some years ago.
